The left-wing is crazy and the right-wing scares the shit out of me!

Allan's Perspective is NOT recommended for the politically correct, or the overly religious. Some people have opinions. Some people have convictions......... What we offer is PERSPECTIVE!

You were more than just a glint in your father's eyes!

Dear Friends:

Scientists have spent decades (Centuries? Millennia?) trying to figure out what "consciousness" is..... and how it works!

Along with this, of course, comes the related questions about God, Reality, Religion,  Existence, Perception, Emotions and a host of other esoteric disciplines that we are only now beginning to fathom!

I too, over the past five decades, have developed some thought experiments concerning "what it's all about," and have come up with some interesting hypotheses about life in this reality!

First of all, it's impossible for there to be a God as described in any major mainstream religion, (or not-so-mainstream) and I realized this is an attempt by various con-artists to get followers for their particular cult. (Remember, every religion started out as a cult, and the more successful ones grew into 'religions' .....once they found enough marks to assure the continuation of their particular bullshit!)

Now if religion is bullshit, then our concept of "GOD" must be bullshit too......, so we have to look elsewhere.

The answer lies somewhere in the nature of consciousness since this forms the basis of reality as far as we are concerned! (At least OUR reality, since that's the only truth there is for us!)

If we follow this line of reasoning we find there is an unfathomable gap between ordinary physical matter like rocks, water, air......... and living matter, which is the receptacle for what we call "cosmic consciousness,'  or, to a greater or lesser degree........... CONSCIOUSNESS.

Since all living things are an expression of this 'Cosmic Consciousness,'  or 'Mother Nature,' this defines who we are and regulates how we observe the world! 

(Thru Micotubules....see below.)

For example, a human would be a much greater part of  'Mother Nature' than a tree would.

Similarily a dog, operating through a switchboard called a dog's brain, wouldn't be as smart as a human.... who operates with a much more complicated switchboard called the human brain!

(These expressions of God is who we really are!)

BUT! How are we a part of Mother Nature? (What's the connection between God and living things, like ourselves?)

Well, Quantum scientists, led by Sir Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff have come up with a theory that seems to explain this!
While scientists are still in heated debates about what exactly consciousness is, the University of Arizona’s Hameroff and Penrose conclude that it is information stored at a quantum level. 
Penrose said that he and his team have found evidence that “protein-based microtubules—a structural component of human cells—carry quantum information— information stored at a sub-atomic level.”
It was Hameroff’s idea, writes Paulson, “that quantum coherence happens in microtubules...., protein structures inside the brain’s neurons. 
And what are microtubules, you ask? 
They are tiny tubular structures inside eukaryotic cells.
Hameroff suggests that microtubules are the quantum device that Penrose had been looking for in his theory. In neurons, microtubules help control the strength of synaptic connections, and their tube-like shape might protect them from the surrounding noise of the larger neuron. 
The microtubules’ symmetry and lattice structure are of particular interest to Penrose. He believes “this reeks of something on a quantum mechanical level.”

In his book: “Beyond Biocentrism: Rethinking Time, Space, Consciousness, and the Illusion of Death,” Dr. Robert Lanza asks does the soul exist? 

(Robert Lanza is an American medical doctor, scientist and philosopher. He is currently Head of Astellas Global Regenerative Medicine and is Chief Scientific Officer of the Astellas Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Adjunct Professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.)

Well: The new scientific theory by Penrose propounds says we’re immortal and exist outside of time through this quantum microtubule connection to "God!" (Our true selves!)
